A statement from Barry Hilton
"I had a breakdown a few years ago. Luckily, I went to a clinic, and I got better with great treatment, so every day, I pledge to prioritise my mental wellness and break the stigma of mental health by fostering open conversations, educating myself on the signs and treatment options and promoting and understanding and treating mental health with the same importance as physical health. I encourage you to take the pledge with me," says Barry Hilton.
